Your VCR-2 Tape Counter allows you to note the location of specific
sections of your tapes and find them quickly later. The Tape Counter in
your VCR-2 works like those found on audio cassette tape recorders. The
Tape Counter counts four times for each revolution of the take-up (right
side) reel in the video cassette tape. The Tape Counter will count at
different speeds depending on the size of the reels and the position of the
tape.

We recommend you reset the Tape Counter each time you insert a tape.
Resetting the Tape Counter assures you a consistent reading when you
want to write down the Tape Counter position of a specific scene. This is
important when preparing notes for editing.

To reset the Tape Counter, insert a tape into either deck, then select that
deck using the TV View buttons. Press Reset. The Tape Counter will be
reset to 0000 for that deck; the Tape Counter of the other deck will not be
affected. To reset the Tape Counter of the other deck, switch TV View to
that deck, then press Reset.

The Tape Counter position for both decks can be seen on the On-Screen
Display and on the Front Panel Display for the deck that is being viewed.
To see the Tape Counter on the Front Panel Display, press Counter/Time
Display. Press Counter/Time Display again to see the current time. This
must be done separately for each deck.

To set the Memory Stop mode for the last deck viewed, press Reset twice.
The first press resets the Tape Counter to 0000 and the second activates
Memory Stop. You will see an M below the Tape Counter setting on the
OSD. Your VCR-2 will stop at 0000 when rewinding or fast forwarding, if
the Front Panel Display is set to Tape Counter for that deck.
